The Independent Presbyterian Choir


The choir OF the Independent Presby-
terrain church Will give performance
OF Farmers Mass at the lecture room of
the church, Wednesday evening, April 10.
The recital promises to be one of the
most entertaining Of the season.
Farmers Mass in b. hat is uuQuestion.
ably one OF tue most popular works of its
class, and fully deserves the distinction.
There ID less artistic refinement and
classical effect in its composition than
in any OF the marvellous creations of Mo-
Fart and Beethoven, perhaps, but in gen.
eral excellence and attractIveness 1t
ranks among the greatest WORKS extant.
The music Is bright and harmonious,
Astounding in march-like movements
and thrilling passages and falls upon the
ear with refreshing naturalness.
The choruses and orchestra win be
conducted by DR.. Bacon, who is an ac.
complished musician, aud one thoroughly
in sympathy with his work.
Admission to the performance will be
by card OF invitation.

ALBANY, n. Y +, April 12.-Governor
KIN sent 10 the assembly tonight a message
vetoing the recently passed high license
OIL, and on motion of Mr.. Crosby, the
promoter OF the measure, it was laid on the
,aoie. he veto is put upon two grounds.
First-lt is special legislation. because il
appiles only 10 the cities of New York and
brooklyn, Notwithstanding the fact that in
majority of the other cities aud towns Of
Inc state the number of dramshops is great
er 'han IN these in proportion to population
Second-Because some of It's provisions
are unconstitutional
The message is accompanied by opinions
from the attorney general and from ey
Judge Comstock, sustaining that view.
The governor expressly reserves al ey
preston Of his own on the subject of high
license and prohibition advocates, and that
OF the Germans on the other hand, all of
whom he pronounces well meaning cid-
Zens. As to the alleged motives actuafing
the legislature in passing the bill he says:
While the question Of temper
ance Is not q party question and
cannot be made such, yet it is
impossible to ignore the political aspects of
the measures, especially when II Is well
known that its support was made the sub
ject of consideration at a party caucus OF
the majority of the legislature and where
it has been ingeniously devised and pecu-
liarly framed so as to operate solely upon
the two great Democratic constituencies
